Nailartfeb Challenge- XOXO

The third day! This one was pretty simple, but I put a bit of a twist into this design by adding a two toned pink water marble! 

 

 I started with a base of NYC French White tip, then followed with two pinks for the water marble, Revlon's Temptress and China Glaze Rich & Famous. I then hand drew the x's and o's with a small nail art brush dipped into Black Lace Creme by NYC.

 I encourage people to try water marbling though it can be one of the hardest techniques to get down. It took me a few tries before I got a good result. Even then, I am still working on making the same patterns every time I drop my nails in the water.

Too much protein, keratin, can make your hair birttle , be on the look out when buying hair products.

Color Guard Nail Art

I wanted to do nail art based on color guard because I have come to like color guard in tha past year or so. I am still working on my actual skills, and I have a lot to learn, but I have big plans this summer! Here's the design I came up with, though I think there could have been a bit more creativity put into this mani!

I think the guard world needs more love for some reason so this is one of the products of that obsession. Base of China Glaze Flyin' High, then with a small nail art brush I colored the nails with Black Lace Creme and French White Tip by NYC. I used Pearl Silver by Klean Color. I did a water marble on the ring finger to give the flag a design that looks like something you would see on a Guard flag. The undies for the water marble is French White Tip, I also used Zoya Aurora, Flyin' High by china Glaze, and Pros and Bronze by OPI for the water marble itself.

I did Google "Color Guard" i used a silhouette photo that I decided to re-create on my middle finger, which turned out pretty well, considering I thought I did not have the skill to do it. But alas! it came out fairly well, I think. 

The rifle and the sabre were my favorite part of this manicure, because I love that they are just perfect to cross on each other for this mani. Plus, they are my favorite part of guard so far. 

I decided to have a bit of fun with this photo by posterizing it, though it looks pretty subtle. thanks for looking at my nails!
